That's awesome! The little town is great, I hope it rebounds a bit. I still go back every now and then; just can't help it, beautiful area. Did you ever spend time in North Adams? If so, I can let you know that Jack's Hot Dog Stand is a little piece of heaven here on earth.
Where in western mass you from? I went to college in a little hole in the wall known as North Adams; I know and love the Berkshires very much!
I'm in Springfield, not exactly the quaint lovely town that North Adams is, heh. I love the Berkshires also, though it still feels weird living here. I grew up around Worcester, and it still feels like home.
wow, this is crazy. i went to college in north adams too!
What was your major? I was an english major with a concentration in print journalism; wrote for The Beacon and also was GM of WJJW for 2 years. Favorite professor by far was Harris Elder, the best pro-whiskey English professor anyone could ask for!
i was fine and performing arts, concentrations in theater and arts management. when'd you graduate? i never had elder, but from what i gather, you either loved him or hated him!
oh, and i had a show on wjjw for one semester but i never got out of bed for it. it was like 10 am on saturday or some nonesense. no thanks!

Graduated this past spring and with a slot that early on a saturday, I do not blame you for not showin up! I have no idea how people do those early slots on the weekends..not for me.
i graduated in '06 so we probably crossed paths at one point or another, and certainly know a lot of the same people. i choreographed reefer madness, if you remember that.

reefer madness was freakin awesome! I'm really good friends with matt anderson, goat-man who dry-humped fallon for about 20 minutes! ha, thats great. Yeah definitely must have crossed paths then because I know more than a few FPA majors. In fact, the first time I went to bonnaroo, I'm setting up my tent with a bunch of friends from home and I stop for a second to scope out who's pulling up next to us. Lo and behold, it was Becky Fleckner, Dory, Matt Tibbs, Steve Malavaolta..It was awesome to experience my first roo with those guys. You goin this year??

If you know manderson, you ever hang out with Dan Bisson or Ben Todd? I've been friends with manderson since our freshman year (he lived next door in hoosac), but Dan and Ben, I grew up with those characters. I am going this year, not getting the VIP experience unfortunately and I also am not sure how I'm going. My girlfriend doesn't want to drive her car (its new, weve done one big road trip already), so she wants to fly, but I love the drive. Going to be there either way!
yeah, they spent a bunch of time over at housepocalypse (i was good friends with most of the house in '05/'06 til they closed the boardmans down) i recognize your name, but i don't know that we ever were officially introduced or anything. we definitely crossed paths at some point, though, seems like we hung out with a lot of the same folks. we'll definitely have to say hi on the farm!

haha I definitely saw you if you hung out housepocalypse then! Freshman year ('05), I literally hung out with the people on my floor and with housepocalypse. Carissa Everett was the one who introduced me to everyone there. Also, this gets even funnier. My girlfriend is Laura-Beth Chaput. I told her last night I was talking to you and she said she used to work with you when she was in high school and was extremely complimentary. Oh, the world is a small place.. we're definitely hangin out on the farm.
haha, dude that's awesome! i worked with laura and went to high school with and was good friends with her cousin adam. and carissa is a fucking sweeeeetheart. you guys should fly to texas, rent a car, and drive with us.
